After a couple of months, a letter of acceptance was received. Kin almost blew a gasket. This was it. He ran almost falling on his own feet. He was so excited.
"Thank you for joining us -"
"Kin, please leave the formalities."
"Alright Mr.Kin, hear is your attire. Now our community is very vast." The hoary elderly gentleman stated. I grab my garment with such care. It shined in the sun a yellow vest, adorned with a small jeweled button. Affirming the society I came from. I was also given a velvet blue tie. I looked over the suit with awe.
"Don't get to attached, in our line of work. Our clothes tend to get messed up!" The gentleman laughed. I gave him a perplexed look. "You'll see eventually, for now enjoy your training. Watch your step... No, seriously, you're in for a R.I.D.E."
I stepped into the double doors, and a gigantic classroom was on the other side. The odd part was that there was only one desk. I sat down.
"STAND UP, WHO TOLD YOU, YOU COULD SIT DOWN AND WHY DIDN'T YOU CHAGE BEFORE COMING IN?" A voice boomed from seemingly thin air.
"I'm sorry-" I felt a tap on my shoulder. I almost screamed. I turned back with such haste.
"You're slow. Your reaction is absolutely .79271 seconds late. Do better. Child, you have no idea what you signed up for, but I do. Get ready to burn. The training is like no other. Are you ready?"
"I- Uh- Yes?" I said, trying to hold on to the confirmation in my voice.
"Good, let's begin. Put on your clothes while dodging every paper airplane that will be com-"
"Ouch!" I felt something hit the back of my head.
"-1" The young lady looked unimpressed. "Already a negative score? Typical."
I threw my clothes over my shoulders and immediately put up my guard.
"Much better... Oh, and you're not leaving until you have all of your clothes on. I'll be watching. BEGIN."
I started to put on my vest. Dodging multiple airplanes. Apparently, they aim for certain body parts. Like my hands. I had to protect my hands while putting on my vest. Finally, I was fully dressed and yes aching. I got hit by multiple airplanes, and they actually hurt. I'm extremely embarrassed.
"-157, the lowest recorded I ever seen in are academy. You must not be trying..." The young women said coming out from hiding. "You will be sleeping here for the night. You may use anything in this room. Welcome! I am your instructor, Mrs. Violet. I have been training experts for over 9 years. Yes, I look very young. That's because I am. I'm only 29. Do your best, I've been doing this ever since freshmen year at high school. Everything you learn here will save you in the long run."
